Event Description

Join an insightful conversation with award-winning journalist and author Clara Bingham as she delves into the transformative decade that shaped modern feminism.

Her book, The Movement: How Women's Liberation Transformed America, 1963-1973, brings together firsthand accounts from icons and unsung heroes who led the fight for gender equality.

From Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique to Shirley Chisholm's historic presidential campaign and Billie Jean King's legendary match, this oral history captures the passion, activism, and cultural shifts that ignited a revolution.

Through the personal stories of artists, politicians, athletes, and activists, this discussion illuminates the fight for women's rights and its lasting impact on American life.
